Sadly true. Happened to me once with of all people a lebanese girl. One of my deepest regrets.
This strip is actually loosely based on real life. I was sitting by myself at lunch and watching two of the hottest and most popular girls in the school. They were on the newspaper staff and were walking around asking students questions. I thought, "Man, I wish they would come over and talk to me." And as soon as I thought that, what do ya know? Here they came. They asked me why I was sitting by myself. I didn't know what to say. They asked me a question for the newspaper, I sort of mumbled a lame answer, then they thanked me and walked away.
